World Green Building Week

This week is World Green Building Week. Started in 2009 by the World GreenBuilding Council the week aims to create a more connected, more interactive, more public conversation around the role buildings play in creating our sustainable future.

Not convinced about the benefits of green buildings, check out this graphic on LEED buildings produced by Ghergich and CustomMade.

This means there are a series of event being held around the world to educate, explain and inspire people around green buildings, what they are, how they work and why they are fun and necessary.

In Sydney tonight sees a Living Future Institute Australia event, UnConference Download. 

The time for “Do less harm” has passed. It’s time for the beginning of being; the beginning of a Living Future^®. This year’s Living FutureunConference explored a genuine sense of place and community as the bellwether of truly restorative design. 

Mary Casey, Chair of the LFIA board will present in the wonderful new Frank Gehry building at UTS. A great opportunity to hear about thought leadership from the people who bought you the Living Building Challenge (because why would you want a building that isn’t alive)
